Characters - Sentinel: Pavel

Characters - Sentinel: Pavel

Pavel, better known by his code name AG700, was an elite spy from the small land of Poldachie-Golgovine, who completed the acrobatic missions his small government sent him on with true panache.
Unfortunately, cuts made to the country's minimalist budget to pay for the vacations of a few nobles, left him utterly high and dry. Disgusted with the situation, Pavel left his country and took up residence in Clint City where he decided to join the Sentinel. But Havok is a hard nut to crack especially when faced with such a dubious liability. But with good will, hard work and after relinquishing his old material and embarking on an intensive language course, Pavel quickly proved his worth and found missions worthy of his skill at slow motion jumps when under enemy fire!

The members of Sentinel have one burning goal: to bring law and order back to the streets of Clint City! And if they have to set fire to the town and bathe it in blood to do so… then that’s exactly what they’ll do.

Pavel is loosely based on Владимир Путин(That's Vladimir Putin for you people who don't know the cyrillic script ). Putin(before becoming President and Prime Minister of Russia) worked for a long time in the KGB(The Soviet Union's equivalent to the US' CIA(Central Intelligence Agency)). Putin started off in 1975 when he first went to 401st KGB School in Oktha, Leningrad(now a district municipality of Saint Petersburg, Russia). One of his main roles was to gather intelligence from the US side of Germany during the Cold War era. He had a fake identity in East Germany and he gathered counter-intelligence to send back to the USSR and inform them of what the United States were doing in West Germany. Most of the time he was writing reports and the best information he gathered was about a unclassified manual from a U.S. Army Sargent for 800 German Marks. He resigned from the KGB in 1991 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
---------
Now comes the part in which I think he is based on Putin:
1. His bio states that he was a spy. Putin during 1975-1991 was a spy for the KGB
2. The bio tells us that he "left his country". Путин left for East Germany and after the fall of the Berlin Wall returned to Russia where he purged KGB files and left the KGB.
3. Pavel "relinquishes old material" - As an ex-KGB agent Putin has enough information and he can carefully use it in any way and means.
4.Pavel has intensive language courses - Putin is known to speak fluent German.
5.Pavel's artwork resembles Vladimir Putin as a whole - Blonde hair, a black suit, blue tie. The weapon Pavel is seen carrying looks like a Walther P38(a German manufactured pistol that was used during WW2 and the Cold War. It is still used today).
6.The name. Pavel(Павел in Cyrillic) is a Slavic name. It's equal to the Latin name Paul(differently spelt and said than the Cyrillic one).
So yeah, I think Pavel is Putin. The artwork's awesome, great job Vanoxymore
Hope you liked my view of the card. Rate green if you'd like

IMO best 5star for sentinel in ELO..
Power - 7 ( low in current meta ,but his clan bonus can help)
Damage - 7 ( crazy?)
Ability -protect power and damage
Bonus - You guys know

Pro's
- Pussycats and All Stars go just useless against him ..
- Amazing damage just creating a great gap ,especially he is very usable in Survivor
- Competition - Hawk,Copper in T2, Havok in elo ( But havok is ruined against SOA , not this Guy..)
-SOA NP, SOB no PRoblem

Con'S
- Dr's like Jeena , Yayoi are a pain ( nowhere to be found actually )
- High power cards can own him easily ..

Overall - IMO 8,5/10 , Solid Card , Great damage , Power is a bit less compared to the current meta cards , still his ability can aid him in the battle

Just realised that the recent James Bond SPECTRE came out and that his code name AG700 is a play on 007 (Double O 7) which is James Bond`s code name. (Or at least the first form from appearances). I mean 7 damage throughout, thats gotta be lucky on Friday the 13th... However the police suit makes him look more like an agent in disguise than James Bond in the movies as I`m sure he did not disguise as a police. But when you read the description about the enemy fire, you might be convinced with the reference.

On a UR Competition Point of View:

However if we were to look at his character, and compare him with say Magnar of the Uppers....
Clearly he is better than Magnar who has the same stats and ability, except his ability works all the time while Magnar needs Reprisal and can be predictable which makes Pavel usable when combined with Ambre`s courage (And puts him on par with Fixit of Bangers or Lena of Pussycats)

Other Notes:
While his bonus is weaker than Magnar`s Bonus (-10 Attack), he is less reliant on it as well as he is not affected by the Protection Attack Ability. He also works best with Ambre because of protection and is ideal for mind games in Survivor...
